'It's been years since we've had a Hampden day out'

Dundee fans, we asked for your views on what would make this season a successful one.

Here's what some of you had to say:

Anonymous: I'd like to see us safe from relegation as early as possible. Top-five and Europe has to be the target but top-six is not a failure. Do not get trapped into thinking all we have to do is beat Dundee United, but that would be great.

Stewart: We need a cup run, it's been years since we've had a Hampden day out. Not fussed about which cup, let's hope we avoid the Old Firm in the early rounds. League-wise, another season of consolidation, top eight and staying clear of the bottom two all year would do me.

Ben: If we were to finish anywhere from ninth upwards and finish above Dundee United and go unbeaten in all the derbies, then I'd say that's a fairly successful season. However, I do genuinely believe that with a few more new signings, this squad and manager are more than good enough to accomplish another top-six finish and maybe even finish in a European place.

David: It’s been 19 or so years since we’ve gotten to Hampden, I’d love to see us push on for once in the League or Scottish Cup.

George: Dundee can get into Europe next season. They have a goalscorer now. The defence has been better during the friendlies. Hope it keeps on going.

Innes: I think a season of consolidation is needed. It was great to get top six last season and we should use this as a blueprint to stop losing so many points from winning positions. The gaffer has got Dundee going places and with Simon Murray on board now we have a proven threat going forward. Exciting times ahead for the Dee.

John: After a strong return to the Premiership, it looks like more shrewd signings from Tony Docherty with Simon Murray being the icing on the cake. Hopefully this year will be a solid top six and maybe Europe, but happy to see the top-six position cemented especially after so many of the loan players returning to their clubs. Is this a realistic expectation?
